There He Goes Again!
German playwright and novelist Hermann Sudermann and fellow-dramatist Richard Voss disliked each other. When a dramatists’ guild was founded, their colleagues brought them together to effect a reconciliation, as their names were of importance to the guild. After much hesitation they were persuaded to shake hands. Voss added, “Herr Sudermann, I wish for your next play the same success as you wish me.” Sudermann turned to the onlookers: “Did you hear that? There he goes again!”
